Keep a Child Alive Seeks an Entrepreneurial and Ambitious Executive Director to Grow a High-Impact Global Organization at a Critical Moment in Its History Keep a Child Alive Keep a Child Alive (KCA) is a global organization, fighting for children to become all they can, no matter where they start in life. Co-founded in 2003 by Alicia Keys, KCA exists to ensure that children facing the most challenging circumstances are healthy, safe, and able to access quality education. Rooted in solidarity rather than charity, KCA works alongside frontline activists and communities to deliver sustainable, locally led solutions that create lasting change for vulnerable children. KCA’s work is delivered through three interconnected pillars. First, it funds and strengthens grassroots partner organizations across Africa, Asia, and beyond, building their capacity to protect and support children. Second, it drives bold, system-level “game changer” initiatives — including a neonatal care expansion across Africa and a comprehensive violence prevention program in South Africa. Third, through KCA South Africa, its registered NPO, it delivers digital education and child-safety programs directly to children. In early 2026, KCA opened its first Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Ngudu Hospital in Tanzania — a significant milestone in addressing preventable newborn deaths in underserved communities. Today, KCA supports approximately 200,000 children each year through 15 partner organizations, with a clear ambition to expand its reach to 500,000 children and 30 partners by 2028.
